Vision Statement: Golden PAWS Assistance Dogs are always placed at no cost to those they serve.Golden PAWS Assistance Dogs provides education and community outreach in support of the mission through therapy and ambassador dog programs. Golden PAWS Assistance Dogs is a respected and sustainable organization that creates meaningful impacts for service dog recipients while making lasting contributions in support of our community and those we serve. Our extraordinary Goldens are the common denominator in all our work.

Standard of Performance: Historically, 95% of our service dogs are placed with Veterans. We recognize that not all will achieve the level of physical and emotional stamina required to serve these heroes. Dogs who cannot achieve the highest service level are partnered with children or other deserving individuals with qualifying disabilities.
